Swachhata Pledge was organized in the MCA as part of the programme. The pledge was administered by the Secretary of Corporate Affairs. Furthermore, as part of the Pakhawada, various activities will be carried out in the Ministry of corporate affairs during this period, including the disposal of depleted and unserviceable items such as furniture, the review and disposal of old files and records, a webinar on Swachhata, and an Essay Competition on Swachhata.

During this time, various statutory authorities, attached offices of the Ministry, and field offices under the Director General of Corporate Affairs will be carrying out a variety of activities.

About Swachhata Pakhwada:

• Swachhata Pakhwada began in April 2016 with the goal of bringing a fortnight of intense focus on Swachhata issues and practices by involving GOI Ministries/Departments in their jurisdictions.

• An annual calendar is pre-circulated among Ministries to assist them in planning Pakhwada activities.

• The Ministries observing Swachhata Pakhwada are closely monitored using the Swachhata Samiksha online monitoring system, where action plans, images, and videos related to Swachhata activities are uploaded and shared.

• Following Swachhata Pakhwada, Ministries/Departments publicize their accomplishments through press conferences and other communication tools.

Observing ministries are considered Swachhata Ministries for the Pakhwada fortnight and are expected to bring qualitative Swachhata improvements in their jurisdictions.
